Here we go again – take stunning Keira Knightley, undress her till… almost topless, then transform her A-cup bust into a nice, yet fake B cup, then place her on the newest Chanel ad. The Daily Mail has the details:
Brushed up nicely: Keira Knightley in the new Chanel advert appears to have a digitally-enhanced bust. And she is certainly looking particularly buxom bearing in mind she has bemoaned her lack of curves in the past. Stripped to the waist her chest is covered only by a pair of braces, with her bust looking noticeably fuller that usual.
Airbrushing expert Chris Bickmore said Miss Knightley’s skin had been smoothed and her chest enlarged.
‘Her face has definitely been retouched, there are no lines or wrinkles at all,’ he said. ’The whites in her eyes have been made a cleaner white and there are no lines on her neck, body or even the back of her hand where there would definitely be some detail. ‘Her breast has had some shading added to it to give it the effect of being rounder and more pert and it has also been increased in size slightly.’
Yesterday Liberal Democrat MP Lynne Featherstone, who has been campaigning against excessive airbrushing in advertisements along with fellow MP Jo Swinson said advertisers should point out where images have been altered. She said:
‘Keira is a beautiful woman and that’s the point. ’If the image has been airbrushed then people need to know so they don’t try and achieve what is totally unrealistic. ’Young girls especially will try and aspire to things which often they can’t achieve and which will leave them feeling bad about themselves. ’Where an image has been altered and retouched, we are simply saying there needs to be a symbol showing what has been done and where.’
The actress attracted controversy in 2004 when she revealed that the publicity posters for her film King Arthur had been digitally altered. While the British posters displayed her natural boyish look, the American ones showed her with a clearly inflated chest.
‘Those things certainly weren’t mine,’ she told a U.S. magazine at the time (see picture below). ’We had an interesting discussion when they said, “We want to make them slightly larger and you’ll get approval’ and I was like, “OK, fine. I honestly don’t give a s***”. ‘She then admitted in 2006: ‘I don’t have any t***,so I can’t show cleavage.’
It’s not just Knightley’s small bust which has attracted attention.
Last year the actress’s mother Sharman Macdonald denied that her daughter had an eating disorder, saying she has simply inherited her naturally skinny physique from her father, 63-year-old actor Will Knightley. She said her daughter has never had to diet but instead followed a special eating plan – high in protein and carbohydrates – to keep weight on. Miss Macdonald, 58, claimed the actress must ‘eat like a horse’ to keep herself at a healthy weight. Last night a spokesman for Chanel refused to say whether or not the star’s figure had been digitally altered saying: ‘We have no comment.’
